Abstract
REST-i is a lightweight stand-alone sleep monitor device to be positioned next to a bed. The functionalities of the device are to capture and display contextual data while the person sleeps overnight. Enabling this functionality are two in-built sensors: an infra-red sensor and camera to capture body heat and movement, a humidity sensor to capture ambient humidity and levels of body sweat throughout the night. Displaying contextual data is enabled by a screen and a LED light. The screen shows and record a graph of the temperature-humidity-movement captured during the night. The LED light is a real-time display of any drastic changes of temperature-humidity-movement levels; it utilises a change of colour from light blue to red to display such changes. Data management capabilities comprises: the set-up of a personal benchmark (temperature-humidity-movement individual data), storage and exporting of data.
